Using Visual Studio Templates and Policy for Enterprise Applications

Visual Studio 2005

Visual Studio allows you to develop wizard-based templates for software architects to use as a basis for developing complex enterprise applications. They allow you to define the basic structure of an enterprise application, apply policy that restricts the types of components that can be used in an application, and provide customized help and guidance for your developers.

The topics in this section describe concepts that are incorporated into the projects provided in these templates, and guide you in how to create the correct Visual Studio Templates and Policy wizard for your project, distribute it to a development team, and finally, how to use it during development. Using a Visual Studio Templates and Policy Wizard can improve the speed and accuracy of development work while raising the quality of the target application.
